Using ODS PDF ANCHOR statement to get page number?

[tburus]

I am trying to build a table of contents for a monthly report. The report has several sections I'd like to reference, but their length may vary from month-to-month, so I would like to make the table of contents dynamic rather than hard-coded. I tried defining variables with ^{thispage} on the appropriate pages, but it didn't reference back correctly. Is it possible to get a page number from ODS PDF ANCHOR statements instead? Thanks.

For "sections" you might try using the ODS PROCLABEL statement as a section title in the TOC.

Before the first procedure that creates output in your sections add something like:

ods proclabel "Section XXXX";

<some proc code goes here>

Thanks. I've done this, but is there anyway to get this to call the page number in a way that I could define a variable that prints the page number out?

I don't work with PDF to have a clue and gave up trying to calculate page numbers for anything 30 years ago.
